Hi Tommie, I’ve just started watching your how to videos and wanted to say thank you. The explanation and audio are fantastic and I started with the warm up videos, I have a ex-racehorse who is very keen to work but struggles with expectance of the contact. I implemented you exercises and he is so much better. I’ve subscribed now and look forward to watching more training videos and improving myself and my horses training. Huge thanks Mark 🧡
Wow!! As a beginning dressage rider with an I1 schoolmaster..it has taken me a year to start to feel and acheive a good connection and throughness. There has been so many rides where I have disappointment and frustration. My own trainer is wonderful, and I really appreciate how your training videos are so lacking in ego and accessible to amateur riders. You have a lovely sympathy and gifted communication. Thank you, Tommie.
I agree with Laura’s well said sentiments. How envious I am of today’s dressage riders because of the opportunity they have to witness and learn online from such fine professionals like Tommie. This station is one of my favorites. Tommie’s philosophy shows how patience and technical skills can build the horse’s confidence and love of learning. That is the true foundation for all that can be taught. I remain an admiring dressage enthusiast because I am inspired by the gentle and intuitive mastery I see here. Bravo!
Mooi dat je het belang van fundament leggen zo benadrukt en er de tijd voor neemt! Ook dat je terecht aangeeft dat niet ieder paard GP wordt, wat niet erg is, maar je vooral plezier in training en ontwikkeling moet hebben.
Your instruction is so calm and relaxing. There is so much information packed into a short period of time without being an overload. You have a many gifts.
Loved this Tommie please do more of these basic starter videos for young horses My three year old is twelve weeks user saddle he is very stiff on the left rein I have started leg yield
I appreciate your focus on establishing a good foundation. My horses are all older and we mostly pleasure ride, but I still find lateral exercises important for their balance and suppleness. I know it wasn't the focus of the video, but I think you established a good reason for riders of all levels to watch videos of their own rides. It's nice to see how even for advanced riders some moments feel different in the saddle than how they look on camera.
Very nice video. I like to do shoulder in (which is identical to a leg yield but with the help of the wall) before leg yield and then hunches in (which is identical in mechanics to the half pass but with the help of the wall). Once they do it at the wall I do it diagonally. But every trainer has his preferences.... still, very nice video, thanks. Very beautiful horse. That arena is to die for.
ik vind het altijd heel interessant de how to video,s je legt het zo duidelijk en begrijpbaar uit. Hier kunnen dressuur ruiters die net beginnen met hun jonge paard heel veel uithalen, en het is gewoon helemaal top dat jullie dit gratis beschikbaar stellen voor de mensen. ja zag er ondanks dat Quinten nog niet alles ken heel goed uit ik vind het altijd zo,n mooi gezicht hoe hij zijn voorbenen kan strekken. Ja bedankt Tommie voor deze boeiende video.
That was very interesting Tommie you make it look so easy I’m enjoying learning more about dressage each time I watch you and really like it it is as you say beautiful 😍 tfs 😎
jullie geven goede uitleg en bouwen het rustig op ik zie het ook wel anders er wordt hier in het noorden friesland drenthe overijsel dat er niet altijd ps vaak niet goed les wordt gegeven bijvoorbeeld in de verkeerde volgorden houdingen verkeerd enzovoorts dat doen jullie juist wel goed gr wilco
Hi Would be interested to see how you start half pass with a young horse. We normally start it after teaching Travers on straight line and then on diagonal line. I struggle moving over to the left! Thanks very much Tommie. Sam
Heel leerzaam ook weer voor mij als beginner. Ik ben sinds een paar weken aan het oefenen met wijken in draf. Mijn knolletje weet hoe het moet. Dus die begint al voor ik het vraag opzij te lopen. Mijn instructrice gaf mij ook gelijk de tip om hem dan weer recht te zetten. En daarna weer stukje wijken. Als het goed gaat ben ik zo trots als een pauw! Schouder binnen waarts snap ik eigenlijk nog steeds niet. Maar da kom vast nog wel. Erg goed trouwens hoe je verteld hoe je het beste een jong paard kan trainen. Ik zie een hoop mensen veel te veel vragen en verwachten van soms heule jonge paarden.
This is " Low Deep Round" When head is too deep, the horse can't see where it is going, gives the horse a feeling of helplessness. And in the long run, it'll damage inside structures, because the horse has to compensate the unnatural movements. I know that this is what the judges want to see. But maybe we should change our approach because of the behalf of the horses?
This is absolutely not LDR and judges do Not want to see that!!!!He carries himself slightly lower because he's a young horse and he's not strong enough yet. You can clearly see that the rider is not forcing him to a certain position.
You can clearly see he is held most strides, he is 30-45° behind the vertical and the poll well below the crest. It is not necessary, and blaming it on a lack of strength of the horse is not only wrong, as the horse can carry its head, but also that it is acceptable to ride this much, this far and this insistantly is not in any way a good basis or acceptable at all. It is rollkur, absolutely... not a moment in time, it is continuous Did you not review your own video before posting it online? Are you so used to it that you don't notice?
Loving how gently you ride and how you reward often! This has inspired me to get into dressage, I really enjoy your instruction!!
Thanks 🥰

Like I said in the video Half pas travers it’s basically the same.... I most of the time try to switch bending out of the leg yield into the half pass
@@Begijnhoeve_official thanks very much!
